Victorian Railways Commission

The Victorian Railways Commission was a government organization responsible for operating and managing the railway network in Victoria, Australia, from the late 19th century until the early 20th century. It oversaw the development, maintenance, and expansion of train services, ensuring transportation of passengers and freight across the state. The commission aimed to improve railway infrastructure, safety, and efficiency to support economic growth. It functioned as a public entity, reflecting government interests in reliable, affordable rail transport, before eventually evolving into or being replaced by other transportation authorities.
